We've got two dogs...Winston Spencer and Ronald Wilson......named in memory of the two men I consider as being the greatest of the 20th century.
I LOVE your names. However, I chose Owen, Lucy, Lydia and Steve. For no apparent reason.
Butters. I named her after she chased a butterfly as a pup. My wife and adult son were nearby.
My wife thought that was cute.
The look on my son's face showed he knew the truth - I named her for a character in a disgusting cartoon.

I assume you're referring to South Park?
Just got a new kitten. Since the senior cat was named Ella by my daughter (before abandoning her with dad) I called this guy Sam. Yep. Sam 'n' Ella! :smile:
Well, my Pug is named Tuffy........see his pic in my signature and you'll see that it seems to fit
I have a mixed breed (Doxie / ???) That we call Bosco because my wife had a dog named Bosco when she was a little girl
My Tabby cat is Mr. Stripey
My Black cat is Blackie yes we are so creative :bgrin:
My Cockcatiel is "Lucky" because I found him walking down the street with cats lurking in the bushes. He was lucky I found him.
Here's Bosco being his normal modest self

My Miniature Schnauzer is named Tommy after the actor Tom Hardy. The breeder named all their show dogs after Star Trek characters, but their household name was typically based on the actor that played the character. Tommy's formal name was Praetor. Tom Hardy played the role of Praetor Shinzon.
Btw, his dad's name was Nemesis and his mom's name was Seven of Nine.
Here's Tommy

Yup. Butters is about the only "nice" character - though he does have an evil side.
A bunch of cats
Murry just because.
Scossy because she was so tiny and now she's our biggest.
Gibson because he has strip's and is orange and looked like a LP that was hanging in a shop I worked in.
Georgia because that was her name when we got her.
Squeech who is one of Georgia kids and well he squeeched alot
Bella who is also one of Georgia's kids because he like's having his belly rubbed.
Current dog, Josephine, name of the town we got her in.
Old beloved dog of 14 years, Sebastian, because it sounded cool.
Buck Trails of Cedar Hill (Buck) finds bowshot deer for us. He's a german shorthair pointer (aka weimaraner). A real countryboy neighbor of mine calls him a "wyhammer". When we are in town or around people I call him 'puppy', (for obvious reason) which he responds to.

Good looking dog.
Sweetie, took her to the vet for shots the day after I got her, but hadn't named her yet. The vet's front desk person asked, what a sweet puppy, whats her name.....
Strength, named by the family I got him from, puppies had biblical saying names 'give me Strength oh Lord'
Filly, was named Felicity as a puppy by the children of the family I got her from, I shortened it to Filly, also expecting her to be as big as a horse.

Perhaps a cheap camera or the light coming through the picture window behind me tainted the color. He's grayish brown.

This is one of only a few breeds that will retrieve, point, and track. This one fetches arrows shot from the back porch of the house. A very utilitarian breed.
Skye - My late, great Golden Retriever named after the Isle of Skye (Scotland)
Scout - My son and daughter-in-law's mutt named after Jean Louise (Scout) Finch from "To Kill a Mockingbird" (We inherited Scout when they were deployed and have had her ever since). Reminds me that required reading or movie viewing should include:
"To Kill a Mockingbird" for a view of the world through the eyes of Scout and her brother Jeremy (Jim)
"The Grapes of Wrath" - Listen to "Here Comes that Rainbow Again" by Kris Kristofferson which is based on a scene from the movie
"Cool Hand Luke" - Dragline: "He beat you with nothin." Luke: "Sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand."

Just got the dvd "Inherit the Wind" for my son. Told him it was a great movie about the Scopes Monkey Trial...he asked "what's that?" And he has a Bachelors degree in film studies from UCSB. What do they teach anyhow?
We have a cat Phoenix, who was named that since she pretty much came back from the dead, or "rose from the ashes if you will." We've had her for 15 years now, and got her through the mother of a friend of my wife's who lived in NH.
A few days after Phoenix and her sister were born, their mother who evidently was a stray, was hit by a car and killed. Luckily, not far from where Phoenix' Mom was killed, Phoenix and her sister were found in very poor shape, close to death. They were brought to a vet where they somehow recovered, then they went home with the woman in NH, where she played the role of mother, and raised them until they could take care themselves. We got her when she was around 1 1/2 or 2 I think. First cat I've ever had in my life, and she's a sweetheart.
Bubba, Gump and Jenny. Kinda obvious. Zoe came to us with her name.

No... That would be ME of course. :blush:
My breeder gives her litters theme names. For example, my five year old German Shorthaired Pointer was named Dasher as he was born on Christmas Day. So, my husband Googled famous people born on Christmas Day and Humphrey Bogart was. Therefore, he is known as Bogart or Bo for short.
My 14 month old from the same breeder was from the coffee litter. He was named Java by her and since my husband and I are coffee junkies, we kept his name.
Fritz, our minature schnauzer was named because, well it just sounds so german, and this breed was developed in Germany.
Broc, our cairn terrier who looks a lot like Toto in the Wizard of Oz movie, was named for the gaelic word for "badger" which is one of the animals these dogs were traditionally bred to corner in their lairs and hold them there till the human came along and finally dispatched the vermin. Broc lives up to his heritage, if one substitutes a tennis ball for the "vermin". He is absolutely tenacious in finding and returning any tennis ball thrown into the deepest brush, deepest snow, water or whatever. We have an exceptionally deep snowfall this year. There is literally 3 feet of snow everywhere. We can throw a tennis ball way far away into the snow and it can sink way down and he will spend a half hour if required to sniff out and retrieve that ball. He will literally swim through the deep snow if required. But he will never give up and he will get that ball every time. He's a great little dog.
"Speed Bump"
Because he's a 23 pound Norwegian Forest cat:

Broc is cool. That reminds me of my pointer. I would pick up a rock out of the driveway, rub it in my hands and then toss it into the woods. (We are surrounded by woods) If Buck saw me toss it and knew the general direction it was thrown, he would take the time necessary to find it, in the dark. A phenomenal nose.

OK, gotta say it. The forum is finally going to the dogs :tongue:
That is a very cute little dog. We sure enjoy our tiny chihuahua "Zoe". She is so zany sometimes playing around with the G-kids and tossing her treats around, then pouncing on them like a cat.
btw: I agree that little dog is DOTM :winkin:
Do I see some Pomeranian there?
On the left is Blompot - (flower pot) because she can sit and stare forever.
The siamese/persian is Hunny Bun. (started out as Honey bunch)

Broken, the stare comes with the family - "that's what us cats do..."
:tongue:

This is Mattie - a name given to her by my daughter (because she's "as tame and affectionate as a dog" - and the obvious relation for my daughter was "Dog Matix") She is a darling!!

The basket shot was from Sept. but real cute so I choose it. Don't kid yourself these guys are great watch dogs and the pups are standard size (about 20 inches now) they'll be 9 months on the 30th and full of puppy energy. We have planned on selling two of the brothers, if you are in FL. they could be yours. :)

I take it these are Standard Schnauzers? We've only had Miniature Schnauzers (12" at the shoulder), but they are great dogs in any size.
